 L'il Hatton has been brought in to be the noble loser. If and when Canelo gets past Ricky's bro, who should he fight next?

 Chairperson Lathan has restored some humanity, some warmth, to a body that is traditionally lacking in that department. TSS hopes the Governor recognizes this, and acts accordingly, in the best longterm interest of the sport in New York. Dear Governor Cuomo:I don't envy you.I wish you well, as you are tasked with the arduous and thankless task of wringing the excess from the state budget, and trying to restore some fiscal sanity to a state you termed "functionally bankrupt" when you presented your version of the budget for the next fiscal year....
